awe-inspiring collection of beautiful landscapes
Standing on the banks of the seasonal Jongomero Sand River, the Jongomero camp is a remote, shaded spot at the heart of one of East Africa’s most revered – and little visited – game parks.
The Ruaha National Park is an awe-inspiring collection of beautiful landscapes, from riverine valleys to rugged rocky outcrops, from iconic baobab forests to rolling plains and hillsides. And it is here that you’ll find some of East Africa’s most diverse animals; from lion to leopard, elephant to hippo, zebra to impala, dikdik to crocodile, honey badgers to gazelle – plus upwards of 560 recorded species of indigenous and migratory birds; a complete treat for confirmed twitchers.
Reasons enough to make sure that Jongomero is one of the destinations on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Tanzania.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
